Album Description
50 Chic Summer Classics – for everyone who wants some sunshine in their life!

From the label that brought you the million-selling ‘Music To Watch Girls By’ series.

Bygone elegance has been big news in 2006, and fashion designers, celebrities and models have been favouring the exquisite tailoring of Roland Mouret, the ladylike silhouette, pencil skirts, belted coats and dresses that are reminiscent of Hollywood icons Grace Kelly, Ava Gardner and Kim Novak. Now Beyond The Sea brings you the music to accompany the fashions… with 50 cool summer classics from the icons of the era.

Beyond The Sea is a collection of rarely compiled, but familiar and feel-good tracks. Taking its name from - and starting with - the Bobby Darin classic, Beyond The Sea. Featuring the effortlessly cool lounge stylings of Dean Martin "Sway", Tony Bennett "Fly Me To The Moon" and Mel Torme "Strangers In The Night", the album also keeps things upbeat with summery bossa nova and mambo including Perry Como "Papa Loves Mambo", Doris Day "Por Favor" and Antonio Carlos Jobim "Brazil". Sarah Vaughan’s "Lullaby of Birdland" adds a jazzy feel, divas Marilyn Monroe and Liza Minnelli add some glamour while Rat Pack legend Frank Sinatra keeps it stylish.

Beyond The Sea is the perfect album for beach iPod listening, garden barbeques, alfresco dinners, summer parties and driving with the windows down and the sunroof off (glam headscarf optional!). Men, women, teenagers or thirtysomethings – everyone will appreciate this phenomenal tracklist.

Gorgeous easy listening classics that exuded old school glamour and elegance. Beyond The Sea captures the same essence, but with a summery, seaside, French Riviera style cool that is sure to make it the compilation of summer 2006.

Customer Reviews

Faaantastic!!
I received the album this morning and I have been playing it non-stop! I mainly bought the album for the Nina Simone track from the Mueller TV ad and for some of my other favourites that I know such as Dean Martin's Sway, Chris Montez, Rosemary Clooney etc. But I love the entire album which rarely ever happens these days, compilations can be such a rip off! It plays so well and I have been dancing around to it. Can't wait to play it in the car and when my friends come around this Friday. Pure sunshine, can't stop smiling!!

Summer Tunes!
This is an excellent compilation with some great summer tunes. I've been playing it non-stop and put it on my ipod. Even my 6 year old brother plays it in his room and dances to it! I think it has a brilliant range of songs for all ages especially the cool Nina Simone song and Sway and good old Frank Sinatra! It's perfect for bbqs and summer parties gets everyone dancing and singing along!

It's great if you like 50's music...
It's great if you like 50's music... It is a good album but it's slightly boring. Some of the songs are amazing but overal the album is slow and unless your golden years were the 50s you won't listen to it for very long.
